BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY Strategies and Markets

The Selling Concept: Tunyoo relies on and believes in selling concept.
oncept. Given lack of
understanding on the part of organizations
organ zations regarding the importance of training, outsourcing and
other forms of consultancies, Tunyoos only recourse is selling concept at least for the time
being. That is, for now Tunyoo makes and sells. Once organizations realize the edge of having
certified
ified people, trained personnel and professionally groomed workforce, itll be only then to
make the most of customer-centered
centered orientation i.e. marketing

concept. Then the focus would

be sense and make.
The Blue Ocean Strategy: In addition, Tunyoo is in a league of its own. Instead of competing
with others in the industry, Tunyoo is striving to engage in setting the pace, creating unique
products and profiting from lucrative new markets. Tunyoo calls generating that kind of
environment the blue ocean
n strategy. Tunyoo believes it is better off searching for ways to gain
"uncontested market space" than engaging in traditional competition.
The Target Market: Tunyoos target customers are all those who are in pursuit of quality and
quest of improving their business performance through training and development, consulting and
outsourcing in the fields of Engineering, Management, Supply Chain, and more with the major
focus on Project Management. The customers may belong to corporate, financial, educational,

THE CHALLENGES
Entrepreneurs have to face numerous challenges on the road to success, in particular with regard
to accesss to finance. All entrepreneurs will at some point feel overwhelmed with the many
responsibilities that fall on their shoulders. Lets see what challenges Tunyoo faced being a new
startup.
Low-profiled Educators: Low--profiled educators disturb the market share of those who are
high-profiled, well-educated
educated and certified. They can be ignored if a business is pursuing the blue
ocean strategy. Nevertheless, challenges and problems posed by them cannot be underestimated.
Importance of Training: In an ever changing and fast paced corporate world, training has
become an indispensable need. Training seems one of the lowest things on the priority list of
most companies. Hence, such lack of understanding poses a great challenge for Tunyoo.
Understanding of Project
ject Management: Project management has developed into a
sophisticated set of tools and techniques, which can help the managers of today to complete their
projects on time, within budget and contribute to the overall profitability of the organization.
Lack of understanding of project management in many organizations makes it challenging for
Tunyoo to market its offerings at first.
People with Strong Vision: Mere start-up
start up is nothing; any idea can be implemented. But strong
vision, foundation of the ideaa and more practical approach may be termed as the key. It is
difficult to find people with strong vision and far-sighted
far sighted approach who can be teamed up with in
relentless pursuit of perfection.
Managing job-business Life: Mr. Tunio pointed out that at times
times it becomes a bit difficult to
give time to your business in tandem with your job. But entrepreneurs are to face challenges and
have to have time management skills. Entrepreneurs are better resource allocators.

THE WAY AHEAD

Tunyoo exists to provide practical advisory, solutions and ideas for the customers in order to
create a win-win situation. The greatest impetus for the business to grow, pointed out by Mr.
Tunio, is the understanding of importance of outsourcing the specialist job
job to the consultant and
ever growing demand for international certifications.
certifications. He argued that such an understanding
especially at organizational level may foster the growth. Mr. Tunio is of the opinion that the
business like Tunyoo (training and consulting)
consulting) might grow more if one has got widespread social
circles and relations with the relevant people. Print and online ads work, but more than that is
your sociability with the people.
For 2020, five years from now, Tunyoo is destined to become the preferred training and
consultancy organization for corporate sector in Engineering and Business Management (Project
Management, SCM, Strategy, Construction, IT, Technology, Planning, Engineering
Engineering, etc.).
